October 16, 2008Fingersmith is such a wonderful movie and the book is likewise amazing and addicting! The story is just beautiful, the acting was incredible, the dialogue and everything was AWESOME! I can never get bored of watching fingersmith or of reading the book. Sarah Waters is spectacular for making up such a sensitive story and I LOVE Elaince Cassidy and Sally Hawkins!!! <33
